The black plastic covering the hinge on my laptop is cracked. What would be the best way to repair this?
It’s called the clutch cover. Apple Part # 076-1374 Usually it can be replaced by squeezing it and sliding it about a 1/3 of an inch to the right or left. It’s cheap. Here’s the part: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/MacBook-Ai… On eBay it can be had for under $8
At, if it is just the plastic cover that is cracked , you could try grooving the crack out slightly with a small machinist file and apply 2 part epoxy carefully and smoothly. If you are able to remove cover to make repair. Good luck I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
i don’t really understand what you’re talking about, does it just come off and slide back in? i can’t find any videos. i have a 13” macbook air
